The University of Louisville has a serious problem. It is bigger than any potential NCAA sanctions, and far more disturbing than the prospect of Rick Pitino getting suspended. The school’s athletic department is teaching its male athletes that women can be used and discarded.

As I have been saying from the past week is the ONLY move that Louisville has is to clean house. Not just the assistants, not just Pitino but Jurich too. They only way Louisville stops being Miami circa 1984 is if they own this and make drastic moves to change it.

The only coach that has gone out of his way to make sure his players treat women with respect is fighting for his job down in Texas. We joked about it at the time but this sign doesn’t seem so funny now does it?

If the culture does not change then Louisville has no shot of replacing Pitino with a coach worth his weight in salt. If they make the correct moves and make them swiftly and with no second guessing then UofL can right the ship and attract top level coaches. If they allow this to drag on or keep Jurich in place and use Rick and/or McGee as a scape goat nothing has really changed and no coach in his right mind would want to be apart of this mess. Once again, the only people that can make this happen are the fans and boosters. If they demand change it just might happen. We are talking about a school and people who have been able to do what they want, when they want it and without any repercussion. Do you think Rick or Jurich will pack their own bags, no way in hell. Card fans are going to have to show them the door. The only question left is will they do it?
